That's all you talk about, sales. I'm talking about actual product quality, and how expectations were met. All of these sales Apple are getting, they are getting them because of reputation. No one sees what anyone else is offering, because of reputation. If people went out and looked at other offerings before choosing the iPhone, I would bet that there would be a BIG dent in Apple's sales.

Though there are some people who genuinely prefer iOS, and I don't hold anything against them as long as they appreciate the other OS's for what they are.

Last time I checked, the iPhone 4S had none of those things. No, you have to wait for the iPhone 6 to come out this year to get that, and we're not even entirely sure of what we might get.

You got the same design, same screen, HSPA+ 21 only through AT&T, an underclocked dual-core processor, iOS 5's only difference is the notification center, and you have the same amount of RAM.

Verizon and Sprint customers are still stuck with 3G, your processor won't hold up to future updates, you still have the same locked down restrictive OS you've had for 6 years, and you don't have enough RAM to get updates for more than 1 year without taking out the little features that you do gain with an update.

Get real, Gallito. If Apple doesn't make the iPhone 6 with quad-core (or dual A-15), LTE, redesigned iOS 6, and 1.5-2 GB RAM, it'll be as much of a disappointment as the 4S when it launched.

Also, "U.S is the biggest market so here is were it counts". Hmmm... Well, by your logic, since iOS has about 30% smartphone market share in the U.S, and Android has about 65% in the U.S, and since the U.S is where it counts... I think you know where I'm going with this. Though, the last time I checked was in early July, so the numbers could have changed. I doubt Apple's market share has more than doubled since then though.

Bro, it doesnt take a genious to know by now that anything Apple puts out, it will sell. People see the "new iPhone" and they go crazy over it. But the rest of us, the people who actually know better, realize just how little of an upgrade the new one is.

I will have to agree with you there. I want my next iPhone to be different and "groundbreaking" not some iPhone 4S look alike. I'll be disappointed but I guess I will still buy it though. Or maybe keep my current one and get me some Samsung Galaxy Note 2. We will see. But I think We should all give it up. Apple will never leak their phone. These rumors are beginning to annoy me. Cos we all know its lies. Only Apple and those manufacturing the parts know how it looks like (not everyone though). The New iPhone (6th gen iPhone) will for sure look nothing like what these rumors are saying.

Wait for the Note 2. It has the specs that will make your phone "futureproof" as the iPhone 5 (or w/e they will call it) will have outdated specs within next year. And plus with the Note, it will feel like it's YOUR phone as it is fully customizable unlike the iPhone.

no phone is future proof.. you drop that thing and it will break.. get something that works now... Apple works out of the box and no need to add widgets that dont work right and will only drain your battery..

before I reply I thought it was a hand coming out of the Apple in your avatar, now that I know what it is... I like it ....true there lots of widgets that work my favorite on Android was YouTube but ate my battery ..worth it though.

I think you meant to say that not every phone is durable.... I'm talking about spec wise as that what is meant by "futureproof." the Note II has specs that will still be good for a person who signs for it for a 2-year contract and keeps it for the whole time period; and even longer. As for an iPhone that will have specs that well ... is already outdated when it's released. And with Android, you don't have to use widgets. It's a choice! As with the iPhone, you don't have a choice at all. All you get to do with an iPhone is arrange icons and put them in folders. That's really something to be proud about.

Future proof if you decide to install custom roms. Most people still don't do that. And I only bring that up because its a Samsung device. It'll probably get one major update, possibly 2 but not likely, in its lifetime. These updates will most likely be slow to release, and far in between. Meanwhile nexus devices will have seen twice as many.

Not bashing android...just putting it out there that US Samsung handsets don't get timely update, or even a multitude of them unless its a nexus device.
For example it took the us variants of the s2 more than 8 months to get android 4.0. I want to blame att but then I noticed the T-Mobile s2 only got its ics about a month earlier. Could be carriers or Sammie...either way you gotta wait.
